Edopesin: The screenshoots show that both players have an added ability of winning possession. Regarding their roles, Firmino drops deep to create chances for the team. That is an Advanced Forward. Osimhen on the other hand hangs around the last defender waiting for chances to finish. That's a poacher. If the ball is played into the box, a poacher has to be available to finish. But an Advanced Forward doesn't need to hang around the defence. Look at Firmino's heat map over the last 3 seasons compared to Osimhen. It is as though Firmino doesn't want to get into the box. It's only this season he manages to get in more, due to the emergence of their attacking wingbacks. But Osimhen heat map in the box is very strong. And lastly, since the 2013/14 season, Firmino has not provided less than 7 assists per season. 6 seasons in a row now. They are very different kind of strikers man.

TheLoneCitizen: They are very different kind of strikers is my point, you hinted at the firmino trait that makes Osimhen one of the most sort after strikers and the first screenshot clearly shows that Osimhen doesn't just hang around the last defender but also tries to the ball in Midfield 1 Like |

TheLoneCitizen:una go just come Buhari internet, dey give us lines like say na through window we dey watch ball. Osimhen, poacher? Make we forget all those through balls e dey give Lille players? Or the two assists he recorded in one game? Please, we should be lenient in assessments. Osimhen isn't just a poacher and he does more than just scoring. |

just watching Obafemi Martins' goals for Inter on YouTube men! dude was an absolute terrifying prospect to face then if you were an opposition defender. rockets in his boots left or right, blistering pace and movement, deadly in front of goal, very strong on the ball despite his size. guy was easily Nigeria's best striker especially during that 2000-2010 period. can't put my finger why dude didn't have an even bigger impact in the super eagles. truly he was a weapon of mass destruction. 3 Likes 1 Share |

TheSuperNerd:didn't know you had already commented before my post. he could be simply unplayable on his day. I think injuries to some extent didn't allow us see the best of him in the national team. anytime I remember that yakubu had more goals than him for Nigeria I just SMH! |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx7ujfA4YkY Gernot Rohr should look at this prospect. Much better attacking midfielder than Iwobi. On the same level as ejaria. Will become a better AM than Ebere Eze in future. |

Subzero047:I hear what you say but that is reducing the crucial role AMs effect on the game. A proper AM apart from negotiating tight spaces feeds his team mates with chances to score apart from taking up positions to score as well. |

Edopesin: When Gabriel Jesus first joined Man City,he was starting ahead of Aguero.. And he wasn't scoring goals.. it got so bad that some fans started to say it would have been better to keep iheanacho in the team... Guardiola had to return Aguero to the starting lineup when things got bad...we remember it very well.. Aguero is a better goal scorer but Jesus had the qualities that Guardiola like in his players .Even TheGoodJoe has admitted that.. It's like I said, a lot of coaches have their preference for players . Firmino isn't a good goal scorer but he is very hard-working..he creates chances and goal scoring opportunities for his team mates..be has created 48 big chances in the premier league, not even the likes of Lampard,Gerrard or Giggs created that much chances during their premier league playing days . The bottom line: Klopp likes his style of play... If Werner won't deliver the kind of things Firmino does,he won't start..that's the bitter truth.. That being said,here's Firmino and Jesus stats for Liverpool and Man City in all competitions Firmino - 235 apps, 77 goals , 59 assists (1.72 G/A per game ) Jesus - 139 apps 63 goals 25 assists (1.57 G/A per game ) 1 Like |

elyte89: I disagree . Ighalo was misfiring after that goal against Cameroon at the WCQ.. And once Osimhen moved to Charleoi,he was in contention for a spot in the CF role... Rohr just preferred Ighalo to him . Even right now,Rohr has already said he want Ighalo back to the team... We have players who can play the CF role and are yet to get their chances,but Rohr still want Ighalo back.. If Ighalo returns to the national team today and Osimhen is benched for him,it won't be because he is better..it's because Rohr prefers him.. |

Danielnino00: 2017/18 Jesus- 13 matches started Aguero- 22 matches started 2018/19 Jesus- 8 matches started Aguero- 31 matches started 2019/20 Jesus- 13 Aguero- 17 Here you go, Jesus was never starting ahead of Aguero Guardiola might like the qualities of Jesus but Aguero will always be preferred going forward because he scores and Klopp won't drop Werner if he scores every now and then hardworking or not |
